Beast language level 10, all beasts obey her orders

One term lasts three years, with an initial examination in the third year, a re-examination in the sixth year, and a final examination in the ninth year.

The assessment standards are divided into competent, average, and incompetent.

The county magistrate's three assessments were all mediocre, and there was no possibility of transfer.

Even though his mentor in the capital city made many arrangements, his three mediocre results in the tests directly cut off all his hopes.

There are two main reasons why his performance was mediocre.

One is that after spring plowing and autumn harvest, the grain tax cannot be paid in full.

The second is insufficient taxation.

"Sir." The bailiff next to him finally stopped hesitating.

"Hmm?" The county magistrate was in a bad mood.

"The man who just complained seems to be doing business with Anping Restaurant."

"The Jerusalem artichoke pickles and fried pork rolls that you like to eat, my lord, are all made by them."

The county magistrate suddenly stopped and looked at him, "Tian Shounian?"

"No." The guard shook his head, "It's the little girl behind Tian Shounian."

"She should be the daughter of Tian Shounian. The owner of Anping Restaurant calls her Miss Tian."

"The two scammers in the jail were villagers from Xiaohegou Village. They pretended to be this girl and went to Anping Restaurant to defraud people."

This yamen runner was the one who took the tea money from Zhang Xiaoan outside Anping Restaurant last time.

"Sir, the county has recently increased a lot of commercial taxes, all for buying Jerusalem artichoke pickles and oil skin."

There are two types of commercial taxes in Daqi. One is when selling to shops, such as Tian Youyou selling to Anping Restaurant. Anping Restaurant will pay taxes, accounting for 3%.

One type is sold to traveling merchants. For example, Feng Jing’s tofu skin was sold to specialized traveling merchants, who then transported it to other places and sold it to local shops.

In this case, the merchants will pay taxes, accounting for two percent.

But after he sells it to the shop, he and the shop still have to pay the first tax, which is another three percent.

As for Tian Youyou, if she sells these things as a commoner, she does not have to pay taxes.

Of course, what surprised the county magistrate was not that Tian Shounian's family was still doing business.

The reason why he stopped and showed a surprised expression was that Tian Shounian's business was considered to be very big in Anping County! !

Although the nine-year assessment was normal, the county magistrate still had the desire to be transferred.

Everyone wants to make progress!

He asked his mentor in the provincial capital and learned that all the county magistrates who had successful careers were in prosperous and easy-to-manage counties.

Such county towns have one thing in common, which is high commercial taxes.

But Anping County...didn't have anything outstanding to attract traveling merchants.

but!

Now there is!

I heard that youpi and Jerusalem artichoke pickles are very popular in the provincial capital, and have begun to spread to other provincial capitals and towards the capital.

In time...merchants from all the prefectures will gather in Anping.

In addition, the Tian family is no longer a merchant family and does not have to pay taxes.

If you have business registration, you still have to pay a 3% tax.

Then his taxes...are promising!

He seemed to have seen the transfer letter from the Ministry of Personnel beckoning to him...

"Xiao Jia, go and call Tian Shounian and his family to my study." The county magistrate's eyes rolled around.

Thinking that Tian Shounian's wife seemed to be pregnant, he ordered another yamen runner, "Xiao Yi, go and invite the wife as well."

The yamen runners Xiaojia and Xiaoyi nodded, "Yes, I will go right away."

Tian Shounian's buttocks felt burning with pain, but it was just pain, without any bleeding.

Jiang Xiuxiu wiped her tears, feeling so heartbroken.

Tian Youyou breathed a sigh of relief. She had seen that the victims in TV dramas were all beaten with blood on their lower clothes, but fortunately Tian Shounian was not like that.

"Tian Shounian, Jiang Xiuxiu, Tian Youyou, follow me." The bailiff Xiaojia came over to lead the people.

So fast? Tian Shounian stood up suddenly, ignoring the pain, "Sir, is the village chief here?"

"They haven't arrived yet. The adults still have something to ask you. Come with me."

They followed the yamen runners along the path beside the lobby to the back of the lobby...

Tian Youyou frowned. That’s not right. Going to the back house?

"Sir." Tian Youyou stopped Xiaojia, "Is this the direction to the backyard?"

"My father is a stranger. It's inconvenient for him to go to the backyard, right?"

In addition to being the county magistrate's office, the rear house was also where the female family members lived.

Xiaojia smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Tian, ​​it is indeed our master and the lady who have something to tell you."

"Girl, don't you remember me?"

Tian Youyou looked at him. Had she seen him before?

Xiaojia had to remind her, "Girl, last time at the back door of Anping Restaurant..."

After his reminder, Tian Youyou remembered.

He was the official who abducted Feng and Tian Shi, and Xiao An even gave him some small change at that time.

"It turns out to be you, sir."

Xiao Jia nodded repeatedly, "Yes, so don't worry, young lady, it is indeed our Master Chen who wants to see you."

"Sir, do you know what Lord Chen wants to see us about?" Tian Youyou asked.

Xiao Jia smiled and said, "Just asking some questions, don't worry young lady."

He took the person directly to the study of Mr. Chen Li.

Chen Li and Mrs. Chen were already waiting in the study.

"Sit down." Chen Li said kindly.

Tian Shounian was flattered and leaned back on the chair, "Thank you, sir, for the seat."

Jiang Xiuxiu and Tian Youyou also sat down...

Chen Li saw Tian Youyou in the lobby just now and thought she was just an ordinary girl.

But after listening to Xiaojia's words and looking at Tian Youyou again, I just felt that this little girl... is truly a beauty from heaven.

"The Jerusalem artichoke pickles and fried pork rolls at Anping Restaurant are made in your family?" Chen Li spoke directly.

Tian Shounian nodded, "The pickles are made at home."

"The oily skin was made by a girl named Feng from the same village."

"But Miss Tian taught me!" Xiaojia knew the inside story.

Tian Shounian looked back at him and nodded awkwardly, "Yeah."

Chen Li: "Do you know that these two foods have spread to the capital?"

Tian Shounian certainly knew that most of the shopkeepers in the village came from the provincial capital.

"If you keep going like this, your business will get better and better. Do you have any plans?"

Tian Shounian was completely confused by Chen Li's questions.

What plans...

What does any plan have to do with adults?

But this cannot be said directly.

Tian Shounian bowed and asked, "What good ideas do you have, sir?"

Tian Youyou touched her nose. Why did she feel that her father's rhetorical question... was so official-like?

Chen Li was obviously very pleased and couldn't stop smiling.

"There are very few things in Anping County that can be spread to the capital city!"

"I think that since the business is so good, why not just register as a merchant and make the business bigger and stronger!"

Tian Shounian was stunned. "Business nationality?"

Tian Youyou was also shocked. Let them become businessmen?

What she had learned in the previous era was that the social status of the Shang people was very low.

There are also those who say that children of merchant origin cannot take part in the imperial examinations.

Chen Li continued, "In fact, there are many benefits to joining the merchant class, except for paying taxes."

benefit?

What's the benefit?
